"This was the Orson Welles movie that didn't make any money, right? [Laughs] I remember seeing this around the time I was doing Animal House, and it just blew me away. It's considered a classic now, but when I saw it, my first thought was: 'Why have I never heard of this?!' That opening shot, where the camera is tracking along with [Charlton] Heston as they walk along the Mexican border, with the bomb…it's a landmark shot of its type. You see stuff like that a lot now, with those long takes, but back then…revolutionary."
